How deep will this pump go? Can the gpm be adjusted from 12 to say 5 gal perminute?

I installed the pump to about 300 feet with plenty of water. There is no GPM adjustment, however the pump will shut off if the water level in the well is drawn to the pump level, this protects the pump.

I have used it to a depth of 200'. The only way to adjust the flow rate is to us a valve to choke it back.

I installed the pump at 300 ft. GPM is not adjustable and dependent on your pipe, valves etc size. 12 GPM is maximum. If your well replenishment rate is low install a Franklin Electric QD Pumptec - Pump Protector.

Mine is down 120', static water level in the well is 60', making the head pressure 60'. We get over 20 GPM at the surface - exactly as specified on their spec's. The pump will go as deep as 500' - you get less water the deeper you go. Go to this website for the spec's: http://www.redlionproducts.com/clean-water/4-submersible-well-pumps/ As to choking the pressure down to so many gallons per minute, you can buy a separate Dole Valve, rated at 5 GPM. They are for sale here; http://www.deanbennett.com/dole-flow-control-valves.htm

You can go pretty deep with this pump. But remember the deeper you go the less volume and pressure you will have. You could go 500 ft deep but performance will be greatly reduced than it would be at lets say 200 ft. I run at 150 ft and performance is great.

I went down and measured the best I could with the pump assembly underwater and a little hard to access. I would say you need a diameter of at least 12 inches to accommodate the side that has the float attached. That should allow it to freely move up and down.

I measured the GPM at 2.5. It does not have a flow restrictor that can be removed.

The pump will fit in a standard 11" dia x 14" h 5 gal pail with 1" free space on piping side. However unless you have a lot of water coming in, the pump will cycle every few seconds. Every 3" in the pail is 1 gallon and the pump turn on at 9" off at 4" (total of 5" or 1 gallon). At a 10' height to pump out, the pump will only run for 10 sec. or so. This is a very good pump, just be sure you have enough water so it doesn't cycle several times a min.

Not sure GPM but it should be fine to run water through a garden hose with no issues.

It's not good below 2 or 3 inches. I believe that you need a smaller pump for that depth.

This pump is not enough for return off 100g tank, I use for 46G tank and it is noisy and flow not constant to keep water level I prefer to use mag 7 for 100 gal tank.

the tubing size for the inlet/outlet is 3/8 of a inch. it fit perfect on my car. do not know the gpm.

Hard to say. I have a 1200 gph pump and it really flows and gurgles. Just ensure the pump discharge size matches the filter outlet. You can always install in outlet to bleed off excess pressure

You can see a chart on depth/psi and some additional specs here: http://www.redlionproducts.com/clean-water/4-submersible-well-pumps/Mine is at 100' - I didn't get a chance to measure the gpm on my install, but it seems at least 12 gpm. Of course, my well is a slow artesian so I usually have 100' of head water on top of the pump. But so far it's been a great pump.

You would have to cut the intake tube. I guess that would work. There is a pump for a 5 gallon tank: TOOGOO(R) Manual / Hand Siphon Pump for Liquid Transfer I have used this one before and it works great.

Sir, I live by the Grand Canyon. Everyone heare uses a shallow well pump. The water tanks are buried 34" in the ground for a rise of three feet to the pump and then the house. This is a shallow well system. It has no effect on your hot water. The flow rate, 4GPM is irrelevant. The pump has an internal pressure gauge to deliver approximately 40 GPM to your home

If you go look up the spec's, (I was looking on Grainger.com) the almost exact same pump(& same motor) is spec'd to pump 19 gpm @60 ft of head. This would likely due 15-19 gpm at 60 ft of head. Its max ft of head is 106 and a max suction lift of 26 ft (as stated on the product description). I wouldn't push these limits though. These type pumps should run between 1-2 hours under load before fully draining the fuel tank.

I hope I understand your question correctly. At 5 feet above the water surface, these pumps experience a reduction in flow of about 50%. Example a pump rated at 700gph actually has a flow of 400gph at 5 feet above waterline. To visualize the flow, imagine your garden hose pointed upward with the valve about 1/3 open... at 400gph the stream of water would rise about 6 inches before topping out. If that is enough water then a 700gph pump is enough. If you buy a 950gph or 1200gph you can restrict the outflow with a plastic valve from your hardware store if it is too much. If you already have the fountain, try connecting your garden hose and adjust the tap to the ideal flow rate. Then disconnect the hose while leaving the water running and then let the water run into a pail for 1 minute. Then measure the water that has ran into the pail and multiply by 60 to get gph. Then take that total and multiply by 1.75 and also by 2. The two calculated numbers will give you an idea of the minimum sized pump and the maximum sized pump you will need.

The float valve for the 12v pump is about 13" from the bottom of the pump. The pump's themselves aren't that deep but if you want the 12v to start before there is water across the floor you'll need a bit deeper.. You really want that switch below the bottom of the drain inlets if you can get it.. For me I had to dig down about 22" and make the sump deeper..

About 8 foot or soI have a very tall tank and used 5and gallon buckets..had room to move to several buckets.I now use a different method. A 1200good gph pump with U shaped pvc, hang over the edge of tank with hose fitting on pvc. Pump continually for a few min. BTW i have a 220list gal.tank

My road morph G pump which is 13.8" long, just fits. I think a 14" pump can be squeezed in.
